Wishing him the absolute best.

Hi @Lila Belle,

I read this earlier today and had posted an NBC story on moonchilde's thread. His therapy is working and that's great news.

It is so sad about his cancer. He has lived a long life and it is so unfair that near the end he has to deal with that. He and Mrs. Carter have lived a long fruitful life, they are very good people and I wish them nothing but the best in their remaining years.

I admire President Carter for the good and kind heart he has and pray that his cancer remisses.....

President Carter is a good man... His attributes are clearly seen. He lives as a humble man who has a moral compass to make the world a much better place.

Sending him positive thoughts to continue to feel well and keeping the progression of his cancer at bay.

Have to tell you all.....even though I'm not a former President, I too have been battling the same kind of cancer he is now battling....... Believe me, it is no picnic. The first 4 treatments I had were the same that President Carter has been having And now I am on a chemo treatment called OPDIVO......there have been many commercials on TV about this. I get my treatments every 2 weeks. I don't know if he will be having this same kind of treatment or not......but had to take the Yervoy first before I could get this one I am on. Didn't have near the side affects with the first 4 treatments as I have had with the one I am on now.

About 3 weeks ago I had another PETscan and the results were good. There is no activity going on with my 3 places I have the cancer, and they are all decreasing in size. For that I thank God....... And hopefully I will be able to go into remission.

He does have a few years on me......but let me tell you, age does not mean anything when you have cancer and are getting treatments. It is hard to go through.

Believe me, I am happy for him that he is doing so well.

I think President Carter is universally admired. He is one of those people that has crossed political barriers with his humanity. He has proven, by his actions, who he really is. A patient, kind, caring person with strong morals and a deep faith that radiates from him. He doesn't preach, he DOES. He is someone who in his determined, humble ways has changed the world in many small ways. I really care for him and his wife.

@ShowMe ... Sending you positive thoughts that you will go into remission. You sure need a break from all the chemo treatments. I am happy for that they decreasing in size. Just know that many here care about you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Fabulous news. I don't think it's what he expected and what everyone else expected either, given that he is 91 years old. Good for him. He is still quite active and it's nice that he can still contribute and will most likely feel well for a long time.

Blessings to President Carter, his wife and family. I was born and raised in Augusta, GA....he was a remarkable governor and man even back then! Nothing has changed in his faith with the Lord, his family and in mankind. I love President Carter and will continue to pray for him! Go Jimmy! 💓
